Slaxl:Russians can't even keep a meteor from exploding over their skies. You know what Russia is? It's a sitting duck, a road apple. Russia is weak. It's feeble. I think it's time to put the hurt on Russia.

Would you say it is a rotten structure which only needs a kick in the door to be brought down?

Or we could close a military base in a region where we can just as easily use an allies territory and facilities. Like we do when we don't have the option of building stupidly expensive bases just for the sake of it. In fact we could even encourage other nations to step up to the plate since apparently we are all in this together. (the whole reason everyone loves us doing it, we pay and they don't)

Fark, that would be terrible. The globe would run red and we would rue the day.

Since Vladimir Putin reclaimed the Russian presidency, U.S. officials said the number of such flights in the vicinity of the Aleutian Islands and Alaska have increased, but encounters with U.S. aircraft have remained "generally very professional."

How would the encounters end up less than professional without setting them off? Cutting them off in their air traffic lane? If their Russian road rage videos speak for the masses, then it seems like something even that little could spark a war.

/Yea I know their pilots fark around with us by buzzing our territorial waters, we launch our fighters and escort them back.

GUAM IS VITALand my ass is a corn muffin.

You do know our bases in Guam have been there since just after WWII don't you? They aren't exactly new. One of the reasons there is a continued presence is so that we don't have to build stupidly expensive bases in other countries. Last I knew, we were about to close our expensive base in Okinawa and move that operation to Guam.

Aside from all of that, Guam is a US territory, so we're pretty much obligated to defend it. Or do they not count because brown people live over there?

This is a tactic of pick pockets called misdirection. You wave your hand off in some other direction, on the opposite side of the thing you are stealing. So with russian bombers just flying around guam, the thing being robbed would be washington DC...funny, on the same day the president is giving speeches.
